Warning! There will be references to female situations in this chapter. Since the main character is a girl, I felt that I should add this in there at some point. If you want, you may skip this chapter, but you don't have to though.
Just FYI, they are still at the restaurant in this chapter. I realized after proof reading this chapter after it being up for months and got confused thinking it was at school for some weird reason, and wanted to clear it up. Sorry, and thanks! :) :) I also took the original first paragraph and put it at the end of the last chapter where it should have been put.
Astrid's Viewpoint
I went to stand up to use the restroom, but before I could finish standing up I noticed some, blood, on my chair. I quickly sit back down and try not to panic. Oh no! What do I do?! I'm so glad that it is just a little bit. I quickly send a text to my mom:
Mom, my period came a few days earlier than I was expecting, and I bled through my clothes and there is a small amount on my chair. What do I do?!
About a minute later I see Scarlett look down at her phone and she takes off her jacket and hands it to me. I put it on and stand up, retreating to the bathroom with Scarlett. Thank you Scarlett for wearing a trench coat! When I get to the bathroom, I clean myself up the best I can and make a temporary pad out of toilet paper. When we get back to our table, I notice that my mom has cleaned up my mess with some baby wipes from Toby's diaper bag.
As soon as the car stops rolling, I rush to the house, through my room, to my bathroom. This explains why I was so hungry today, and emotional. I walk out of my bathroom in a new set of clothes, to see Alex sitting on my bed with a worried look on his face. "Are you okay? When you got out of the car, it seemed like something was wrong." I tell him about what happened, and his look of worry faded and quickly became one of sympathy. "If you need anything, and I mean ANYTHING, you just tell me, okay?" I nod my head and lean my head on his shoulder, falling asleep.
When I wake up, I am laying down in my bed with Alex beside me, on top of the covers. I move a little and the uncomfortable burning ice sensation I get hits me. I quickly get off my bed and lay on my stomach on my floor, with my head on a pillow.[This is actually how it works for me, no kidding] In my hurry, I accidentally wake up Alex. Soon, there is a body next to mine, asking if I want ice cream. "Why wouldn't I want ice cream, you knucklehead?!" In a few minutes, he returns with two bowls of ice cream and Veggie Tales.The next morning, I eat about a dozen chocolate chip waffles with peanut butter on them, and Alex, Scarlett, and I all sit down to watch Doctor Who. [Yes, I am a Whovian. DEAL WITH IT!! Thank you! :)] We watch a few episodes, then my parents walk in and we pause it. They ask Alex and I questions about our relationship, and tell us to go get ready for school.
There you have it guys! Two chapters in one day! I am trying to make up for the times in the future when I will not be able to update. What should I call you guys instead of readers? Also, shout out to taterbug1221 for helping me when I need ideas. She didn't help me with this chapter, but she will in the future. Go check out her book The Rivers Silence, and be sure to comment! Sleep well readers! :)
